Strikes all the right notes ... Especially for a relatively affordable Pinot ($22). Well balanced, some fruit and earth without much oak, medium body. Highly recommended.

Waited a year to drink this. It opened up to a soft, sweet approaching, berries, fine tannins and lovely nose. Great quality for the price.

Initial sea salt over dried cherry which was interesting. After that simple but pretty.

Bright sharp cherry with a bit of earth. Nicely lean, not jammy. Hides its 14.8% abv. Could stand with a good Sonoma Coast or richer Willamette Valley. I'd say yes.

IMO best Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot. Bigger style, not as refined as some might like. A cab drinkers Pinot.

Earthy and even acidity - so pleasant in a Pinot (I must confess I'm a wee bit pinot'd out). Partner "would gladly bring this to guests at a party". Paired but drank mostly post dinner of chix cutlets on kale etc. Delicious-recommend

Earthy, mushroomy nose with some raspberry. Peaty and earthy, bitter. Gets a little better after ~15 min. Good but not sure I would buy again.
